New Delhi, Feb 28: In their bid to stay together in solidarity with the grieving Kapoor family the managemnet of the Green Acres society, where Sridevi resided, cancel Holi celebrations in view of the actor's demise. The notice clearly says "as a mark of respect to the departed soul who has entertained us all with her remarkable acting prowess, it has been decided to cancel the Holi festivities that were to be held on Friday, March 2. 2018.

Veteran actress Sridevi's mortal remains arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday night, around 72 hours after her sudden and shocking demise in Dubai. Her funeral is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

Her body was taken to her residence in Green Acres, Lokhandwala, from the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in a convoy. Tight security arrangements were in place both on the way and outside the house, as a large number of fans had gathered to get a glimpse of their beloved actress.

The late actress' daughter Jahnvi Kapoor and other family members -- Anil Kapoor, Anshula Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor -- were present at the airport along with business magnate Anil Ambani and his wife Tina Ambani.
